Jumping against wall is difficult to pull off, I couldn't get past level 2.

Sorry about that. If you have trouble with level 2, you can just press jump repeatedly against the wall to climb up. Made a video to demo it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WG5FwGMuaeI

Just reached the ending :smiley:

Nice little game, surprisingly the 2nd and 3rd levels seemed harder to me than the latter ones. Good job overall.

Thanks! BTW, I'm taking a break away from Ludum Dare for a few days, but when I get back I will review and give feedback also on everyone who commented. :D

I did it (36 reloads and 4 stars) Kept me up for a few minutes!

You seem to have achieve something:
* Your game have an ending
* Fun character with a mustache
* Great jobs for all thoses levels
* Tutorial included in the game

I really liked it!

Kudos for having a full and finished game! That is quite the feat on its own. In addition to that you manage to introduce a number of unique mechanics. The graphics definitely takes me out of the game but that as well as audio mixing would be the only changes I would make.

I really appreciate the tutorial. The gameplay and platform feel is solid. I didn't know you can step on the creature to kill them mario style.

It seemed like the longer the game went on, the easier it was. Was it intended that the timer went from 10 seconds in the earlier levels to like 16 in the later levels?

hungryroyauthor4 Oct 2022, 23:29

@vykri collecting bonus stars lets you carry over excess time in the current stage to the next stage, so if you get them several stages in a row, you can easily accumulate a few extra seconds

Nice game! The controls are a bit floaty and, not gonna lie, the music could use a lot of improvement. BUT! I love how you designed the levels. Introducing new mechanics and spins on old ones kept me hooked through all the levels. It reminded me of Super Mario World's level design philosophies. All in all, very charming and fun game.

A super fun idea, and a fun game to play. The only thing I would change was to made the first levels a bit easier. But else a good compo game. Well done.

You set out to implement platformer things, and I think you did it well. The player movement and monsters feel very mario-like. The bonus stars, effectively adding a hard mode, are a nice touch. There's a nice variety of levels and a good progression of mechanics. The music is very on theme, since it loops every 10s.

Nice and complete little game! Solid platformer controls and level design/progress. Regarding your programmer art, I especially liked the waiting customer's little idle animation

Just in time deliveries.... no worries ... it's still warm :smile:

PurpledArtFrog7 Oct 2022, 09:17

... and I actually like the graphics :smile:

You did a good job on the level design in this, they were challenging but not too much :). I actually think the character design is kinda cute, especially on the enemies. I love the dash feature!

alexander epton8 Oct 2022, 00:46

this addressed the theme well but the controls felt a little laggy... like there was a delay on the input or maybe you were polling for inputs in fixed update? instead of update or something? the art was cute =)

Solah8 Oct 2022, 07:45

Your dev art isn't that bad! I had more issues with the music which is quite stressful for delivering pizza xD

Very good level design here, I had fun at every level, took me some time to get the star at delivery 8! Well done!

This is a nice little platformer. The second level was the hardest but I managed to get past it and got to the end with 5 bonus stars. The movement mechanics could use some tweaks to improve the game feel (jump buffering, coyote time, ability to jump away from a wall), but it's playable and I like that it introduces new mechanics along the way, has a good number of levels, and a clear ending. The art is simple but it works, and it's cool that it has sound effects and music too. Nice work!

candlesan9 Oct 2022, 02:16

Congratulations on being able to explore some platformer and jump mechanics. I like the inclusion of some dash mechanics. For a while I thought collecting the star was mandatory for finishing the levels but I realized on some of the later levels that I could finish them without the star.
I like that in addition to exploring just jump speeds you also worked in air dashes, air jumping, and wall jumping - and you integrated them into the level design of the puzzles!

It was very fun. I like how this feels like a nightmarish version of Mario, with that creepy dissonant music.

PhoenixofForce9 Oct 2022, 10:15

Very nice little game. For me the jump-physics were a bit too sluggish but still had a lot of fun. Well done!

Harmadillo11 Oct 2022, 20:31

Nice game. The variety of the levels and mechanics worked really well. On a couple of levels my brain kept thinking the black box with the instruction text were bits of the level(walls etc). I would have liked a level selector so i could go back and try to get the stars I missed.

Dr_V13 Oct 2022, 11:00

Level design is quite nice and the mechanics were interesting.

Rob656616 Oct 2022, 11:01

This was fun! I liked the star bonus objectives, and dash pads / moving parts. Good difficulty progression too (although I would have liked a higher difficulty threshold). Nice work designing all of those levels. I liked that the game was on theme with your name :laughing:.

Got all 10 bonus stars! Really nice basic platformer! Could use some sort of twist and maybe allow for jumping for longer after boosting. Solid foundation to build upon :)
